Make Reversing Cameras Compulsory on all new vehicles.

In the Territory you don't gain anything by looking back because it's too high to see anything. I've just upgraded to one with a camera and it's a useful adjunct to the mirrors, that's all. I can imagine some stupid people relying only on the camera but it doesn't show you everything. The best advantage of a camera is that it stops people turning around and looking over their shoulder, allowing them to concentrate on the mirrors!

Then there's the people who reverse while looking forward (not even at the mirrors) - I've seen a couple of those dillbrains reverse into cars behind!

My mates wife does this, she never looks back. You should see the back bumper of his G6ET.... She only uses the mirrors. He will have to replace the bumper soon lol....

Thank god my Mrs listens to me and turns her body around while reversing. 10 years of driving, after I taught her this method and she hasn't hit a thing while reversing.
